This article covers L4E rule 1-3 for the 2014 L4E workload system.

An overview of the L4E rules is found in the L4E rules of 2014.

Context

  • This rule deals with biopsies/curettages.

Details

Specimen type(s) Weight (L4E) Details Examples Rule
Breast core biopsies & prostate core biopsies 1 L3 per core (0.5 L4E/core) maximum of 20 cores, should use clinicians core count (if available) - if clinicians' count not available use gross count 4 breast cores = 2 L4E
12 prostate cores = 6 L4E
Rule 2 [1]
Core biopsies (not including prostate, breast) 1 L4E / 5 cores, all fractions are rounded down 1-5 cores = 1 L4E, 6-10 cores = 2 L4E, 11-15 cores = 3 L4E, 16-20 cores = 4 L4E 3 cores of lymph node = 1 L4E, 6 cores of mediastinal mass = 2 L4E Rule 2 [1]
